The VideoLAN Forums

In any VLC i used so far i maxed the volume using ctrk+up and the sound quality was excellent.

Now when i max the volume it gets as if my headphones are blown out. At the same time if i increase the master volume in volume control i get louder and cleaner music. Why is that?

To clarify: I watch movies mostly on headphones and i usually decrease the volume from volume control and put it to max at VLC.

Do i have to downgrade?

Do you have any audio_filter loaded or equalizer?

i deleted the preferences and cache, when installing v0.92. i haven't installed/enabled any filter/equilizer.
the problem persists

Tried the Audio Out setting? Your Audio drivers updated?

I think the audio amplification steps changed between 0.8.6 and 0.9.2 so the effect is not the same anymore (at least my Audio output volume steps are different).
